OVH Public Cloud Sustained CPU Endurance RunEG-7 - Sep 25 2016

The sustained CPU endurance test runs a cpu intensive task in a loop for 24 hours.
As maxing out the cpu might be considered abusive, the tests aims to use no more
than 50% of each cpu core on the VPS.

The purpose of this type of test is

first to evaluate the speed to the VPS,

second to evaluate the stability over time of the cpu available to the VPS

and third to detect VPS where the CPU is throttled and
the performance goes down over time after cpu utilization goes over
a threshold the provider considers excessive for a particular plan.

The performance is measured at regular intervals in terms of tasks executed per hour, amount of idle cpu and
amount of "cpu steal".
